pointed by said Governor Steven
son Republican on these boards,
aand will look 10 the interests of
the colored people.
Hawkins, Johnson & Brown have
all neglected to advise you that a
State Republican ticket was up,
and have tIied to hoodwinL you
into voting FOR Democrats who
closed your schools, done away
with FENCES, and to-day we are un-
able to have a COW, hog or mule,
unless it is tied by the leg. Our
children are growing up il ig-
noranco. They tell you the State
ticket headed by John A. Steven
son, cannot be elected. OF course
not, if you let thcm.fool you into
voting for Democrats. Now is the
chance to elect our Republican
State ticket. The Democrats are
divided, and all votes will be
counted. We ask every true Re-
publican to rally to the polls and
vote the strait, true Republican
State ticket, And for parish offices
we ask that you support 2. J.
Watson and r. L. Jackson for
Representatives, and }. T. Me-
Clellan for Sheriff, 4. T. Lane for
Clerk, and such Magistrates and
Constables as you may see Fl. to
put up.
Do not allow yourselves to be
further fooled. Look with SUE
picion or every statement made
by the Hawkins, Johnson and
Brown factions. They lave al
ready tried to hoodwink and mis-
lead you, and fool you into voting
a Democratic State ticket, selling
their party allegiance for personal
interest Disbelievo them On all
points.

There are two very young New
Orleans lawyers canvassing with
Gov. Nichols. They go along we
suppose to set the fashions for the
boys and dress up to the girls.
When they step forward on the
platform with white cuffs, glitter.
ing sleeve-buttons, high collars.
speckled neckties and patent
feathers they get their reward.
Like the sigh of the evening
zephyr, there comes from the mil
iitary department of tie audience,
a soft nnrmar Of sob, how sweet

A Temple of Serpents.

The small town of Werda, in the king
dom of Dahomey, is celebrated for its
Temple of Serpents, long building in
which the priests keep upward of 1000
serpents of all sizes, which they feed with
the birds and frogs brought to them as Of
ferings by the natives. These serpents,
many of them of enormous size, may be
seen hanging from the beams across the
ceiling, with their heads hanging down.
ward in all sorts of contortions. The
priests make the small serpents go through
various evolutions by lightly touching them
with a rod, but they do not venture to
touch the largest ones, some OF which are
large enough to enfold bullock in their
coils. 1t often happens that some of these
serpents make their way out of the temple
into the town, and the priests have the
greatest difficulty in coaxing them back.
To kill serpent Intentionally is crime
punished by death; and if European was
to kill one the authority of the king him
self would scarcely suffice to save his life
Any one killing a serpent unintentionally
must inform the priest Of what has oc

A Persian Feast.

From st. James's Gazette.
The first time that l had the pleasure
of being entertained by Persian Prince
was when I dined with the Serrum-u-Dow
let, the son of the Governor of the province
of Kermanshah, who was the Kings uncle.
About FIVE in the afternoon | arrived
with friend at the Princes house. 1t
was summertime, and his highness was
sitting with his brother in large talar or
archway-a sort of windowless room, the
open front of which looked upon large
hauz or tank, into and from which clear
water ran continuously. The whole tdlar
was built in the Arabian or iSaracenic style
of the Alhambra; but the decorations were
much more horrid There were life-sized
full-length portraits of dancing girls in all
possible and impossible attitudes Some
were balancing knives or goblets, others
were in the various postures of the eastern
dance, while one was depicted as standing
on her head. All these pictures were faith
full likenesses of court favorites made by
the court painters. The Persians, unlike
other Mohammedans, delight in the repre-
sentations of female beauty, in which their
artists excel. The recesses in the walls
were filed with chrome Autographs, let in
n
and glazed There were odd chandeliers OF
various colors hanging from the lofty arch;
twenty pairs of carriage lamps were stuck
in staples on the walls, and from each OF
these depended tiny cage in which
nightingale was singing, in emulation Of
his fellows, at the full pitch of his voice
In the centre of the apartment, open to
the air, was basin, five feet in diameter,
and the alabaster-like yellow-veined marble
of Yezd, and in this basin in single large
Jet of water, the thickenss of a mans arm,
played furiously. The notes was so deaf
ening that we had to shout compliments to
each other.
The fountain at length ceased to play,
no doubt to the great satisfaction of three
unfortunate gardeners, who were engaged
in supplying it by means of a sort of orien-
tai treadmill, by which huge buckets Of
water we're drawn from a shallow well.
Water pipes (hubble-bubble) were brought
and handed round; and so hospitable were
the Princes that they insisted on smoking
the hubble-bubbles last, and would not be
denied. Tea, more pipes, more tea; during

"The Curse of Scotland" !"

In reply to an inquiry as to why the
nine of diamonds was called "the curse of
Scotland" the Inter Ocean says :-"There
are several reasons given for this. One
stcry is that after the battle of Cuiloden,
the "Butcher Luke" (Cumberland) wrote
his order, to allow the prisoners no quarter,
ON the back of nine of diamonds, and
that this card subsequently received the
name Of "the curse of Scotland" :" But it
is doubted whether this was the origin of
the phrase, as it is known to have been in
use in the early part of the century
Another suggestion is that it refers to the
arms of Sir John Dalrymple, who, as re-
sponsible for the brutal massacre Of Glen
coe, February l3, 1892, was justly held in
adherence by all the people, and who bore
on his shield group of nine lozenges.
More plausible are suggestions which refer
the name to national religious prejudices.
Also, in the game Of comette, introduced
by Queen Mary, the especial winning card
| is the nine of diamonds, aud this game was
called otke curse of Scotland" because
thousands of pounds were lost by it, and
whole families brought to poverty"
